The scene of a woman sitting is a breezeway between two ‘cabins’ (RFM42) surrounded by her three pets doesn’t differ significantly from what one might experience in some remote area of Mexico today. Attributed to the Nayarit of West Mexico, this Ixtlan del Rio styled Protoclassic model dates c.100BC-250AD. In overall very good condition, the 6 ½” long plaza is raised on four tapered feet and still retains traces of red and white paint. The largest of the three pups is missing its tail, and there ...click for details

Aside for the overall quality and frequent uniqueness of the artifacts and relics from the Dr. Allen Heflin collection, it’s difficult not to to rank its next most important feature as the extreme care practiced by Heflin in documenting the provenance of almost every one of his approximately 10,000 treasured items. Not all of them were large, or impressive, or complete, or of museum quality, and many were simply the fragments and parts from ritually broken offerings to ancient gods, or pieces re ...click for details

This 7 5/8” tall, very flat figure (RFM45) is attributed to the Protoclassic Nayarit of West Mexico, c.100BC-250AD. A striking figure that has been poorly glued together, it still carries traces of red, white, and pinkish pigment. The corners of its head are slightly chipped, the right arm has been glued on, and the nose has suffered some slight damage. An excellent candidate for minor restoration to bring it back to its original grandeur, one this thin and fragile rarely survives as well. From ...click for details
